About this property

Cozy Mountain Log Home Overlooking Rushing Stream

Get away from it all! Remote lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom log home with sleeping loft nestled in the woods and looking out on a bold cascading stream. Soak in the covered hot tub or rock on the covered porch overlooking the rushing stream and relax to the sound of the beautiful waterfalls. Open up the windows and feel the cool mountain air, fall asleep to the calming sound of falling water - The best nights sleep. Gather round the fire-pit, roast marshmallows, and soak up the scenery. Cook burgers and hot dogs on the bank of the stream on the picnic table with park style charcoal grill. Relax, hike, or play in this true mountain paradise! . WiFi and free long distance calls included. Enough room for everyone, 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, 1 full sleeper sofa. **NOTE: The cabin is 2.6 miles from Hwy 19 into our mountain community on Hornbuckle Creek. The road is gravel (not steep) but is very well maintained by the HOA, we have provided very detailed driving directions and proper signage as GPS is not fully accurate in the mountains. It is a 15 minute drive to town. While in the winter months - driving a 4 wheel drive vehicle would be recommended, no need in other seasons. If getting away from the crowds and enjoying a remote Great Smoky Mountain experience is your thing , you will love this place! The kitchen is extremely well equipped to prepare any meal. Outside you will enjoy cooking on the gas or charcoal grill over the stream. In the beautiful cool evenings of spring and fall take the chill off watching the flames in the woodstove fireplace. Pets may be considered. Ask us.


For Larger Groups or If Your Preferred Dates are Unavailable:

If you are traveling with more than 7 guests and need 2 cabins for your mountain vacation, we encourage you check out our neighbor's cabin, Hemlock Creek Hollow (VRBO #1159678). Hemlock Creek Hollow is on the same rushing creek as we are and in a breath taking setting. Hemlock Creek Hollow is an approximate 10 minute walk from Running Bear Falls (or shorter if you follow the creek) and boasts stellar 5 star reviews.

If Running Bear Falls is not available for your preferred dates, we encourage you to check out Hemlock Creek Hollow (VRBO #1159678) as an alternative. We can assure that you will not be disappointed with either option.

Relaxing & Beautiful!!
This was a last minute decision as our previous plans fell through! Our little boy was on spring break so we were looking for a nice place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and this cabin and the host did not disappoint. The hosts are wonderful at messaging you and want to know if you have any problems! The directions and instructions to..from..and about the cabin were great! We will definitely keep this cabin in mind for future visits.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The pictures don’t do justice. This property is National Park quality. The cabin has a great layout. Plenty of space for family. Great communication from host. We will be back.

This is what you call in the mountains!!
The property is way off the road, some driveway work could make it a little less agressive driving. I've stayed back in this area before but this property was just over the creek. The listing of things to do around the cabin is a plus when you just want to stay in for the day and look at the veiw along with waterfall.

Peaceful Setting
The cabin is in a beautiful location, the creek is right out the front door, you can hear the water as soon as you arrive.. You will find everything you need inside this lovely cabin.. just bring food and clothes.. The owners thought of everything, nothing to desire.. Just a very relaxing place.. don’t hesitate to book this cabin.. this was our second time at Running Bear.. It truly is just like the pictures in the listing.
